The Smith & Wesson Model 422, discontinued in 1996, was the company's well designed and built entry into the lucrative mid-priced rimfire pistol market. The uniquely designed 422 barrel is fixed to the fame in a low position just above the trigger guard. The barrel is threaded from the factory, with a protective barrel nut fitted. The low bore axis serves to greatly reduce muzzle jump and allows the fitting of a suppressor without losing the use of the factory sights. This pistol features a ramped front sight, an adjustable target rear sight, checkered wooden grips, and a 10-round magazine. Its grips are in very good condition and its metal and bore are in good condition.
